The basic information of the Supply Chain Management is
the chain relation or the link between the supplier’s supplier
and customer’s customer. More is the transparency in
partnership concept. The bondage or the link is better.

In Supply chain
coordination flow, the corporate supplier or the organizational head has
to give the total commitment on behalf of his organization to the main
customer either through the channel partners, by way of distribution
channel, group catering etc., with big total support from the consortium
of linked suppliers may be his Departmental heads in a total cost
effective and time effective manner for the result orientation in a
Global Benchmarking Strategy.

After the Business
Process Outsourcinga good number of areas has adequately improved by
the way of 3PL as the Application Service Provider/ Courier Service/
Transcription Facilities/ Tracking System etc. From the Business Process
Coordination Flow Diagram 1.1, it will be clear that there is the
continuous flow of physical supply and physical distribution of
different material, whether the net solution can be just substitute it.

Basically, the load/mode/ and the flow design in
multistage aspects gives the proper dynamics by way of
cost effectiveness as well as time effectiveness. Length
of the proximity link matters in this dynamics. There may
be a good number of failure zones to satisfy the customer
need, proper time management and the infrastructural
facilities are one of the most vital areas being hindrance
to the fulfillment of the customer satisfaction, apart
from any quality failure zone.

For supply of Raw Materials/ Packaging/ Ingredients/ MRO items it has to
be physically distributed by way of proper load, mode and flow concept.
From the Figure 1.2, it is also apparent that the product of an
organization has to match with the market whether it is in the form of
monopoly, oligopoly or competitive market. Feedback has to be taken not
only on the production quality but also on the appropriate time of the
delivery of the consignments.

Make sensivity analysis of the relationship (1.3). In otherwords find
various properties of (1.3) in terms of changes in values of
independent variables, parameters of the equation, monotonic behaviours,
continuity, growth pattern etc. and the properties which are invariant.

II. Since transportation of goods will be repetitive in nature over time,
few FGW’s/ RMW’s may stock over the optimum requirement to take benefit of

Similarly, each Market may stock over the average demand to cater to
fluctuation of demand of the goods.

Hence, it may be necessary to know standard deviations of demand of the
markets. A trend analysis may also be supportive to the aforesaid actions.
The problem bails down to repetation of Stage I, II and III when demand of
the i-th market is di + Lsi where L is a positive real number to be chosen
as a function of market’s willingness to cater to what percentage of total
demand. Under normality assumption, Ê will be equal to 3 if 99.5% of total
demand are desired to be met.

III - Have Mid-term or Long-term estimation/ forecast of di’s
- Based on such forecasts see capacity augmentation required for the FGW’s
- Accordingly, find required capacity augmentation for Plants and RMW’s

If capacity augmentation of any of the FGW’s, Plants, RMW’s are not feasible
or practicable, then one can find additional number of

· FGW
· Plant
· RMW

based on forecast of market demand. Alternatively, Plants have to think of
outsourcing the production to a location minimizing total cost including
transportation cost to markets, based on Minimax Principle.
